And put the linen bands round Aaron and his sons, and the head-dresses on them, to make them priests by my order for ever: so you are to make Aaron and his sons holy to me.
10 And you will bring near the young bull before [the] tent of meeting and he will lay Aaron and sons his hands their on [the] head of the young bull.
Then let the ox be taken in front of the Tent of meeting: and let Aaron and his sons put their hands on its head.
11 And you will slaughter the young bull before Yahweh [the] entrance of [the] tent of meeting.

23 And a round loaf of bread one and a cake of bread of oil one and a wafer one from [the] basket of the unleavened bread which [will be] before Yahweh.
And take one bit of bread and one cake of oiled bread and one thin cake out of the basket of unleavened bread which is before the Lord:
24 And you will put everything on [the] hands of Aaron and on [the] hands of sons his and you will wave them a wave-offering before Yahweh.
And put them all on the hands of Aaron and of his sons, to be waved for a wave offering before the Lord.

Then take them from their hands, and let them be burned on the burned offering on the altar, a sweet smell before the Lord, an offering made by fire to the Lord.
26 And you will take the breast from [the] ram of installation offering which [belongs] to Aaron and you will wave it a wave-offering before Yahweh and it will be[long] to you to a portion.
Then take the breast of Aaron's sheep, waving it before the Lord; and it is to be your part of the offering.
27 And you will consecrate - [the] breast of the wave-offering and [the] thigh of the contribution which it was waved and which it was raised from [the] ram of installation offering from [that] which [belongs] to Aaron from [that] which [belongs] to sons his.
So you are to make holy the breast of the sheep which is waved and the leg which is lifted up on high, that is, of the sheep which is offered for Aaron and his sons;
28 And it will belong to Aaron and to sons his to a prescribed portion of perpetuity from with [the] people of Israel for [is] a contribution it and a contribution it will be from with [the] people of Israel from [the] sacrifices of peace offerings their contribution their to Yahweh.

30 Seven days he will wear them the priest in place of him one of sons his who he will come into [the] tent of meeting to serve in the holy place.
For seven days the son who becomes priest in his place will put them on when he comes into the Tent of meeting to do the work of the holy place.
31 And [the] ram of installation offering you will take and you will boil meat its in a place holy.
Then take the sheep of the wave offering and let its flesh be cooked in water in a holy place.

And let Aaron and his sons make a meal of it, with the bread in the basket, at the door of the Tent of meeting.
33 And they will eat them which it was atoned by them to fill hand their to consecrate them and a stranger not he will eat [them] for [are] a holy thing they.
All those things which were used as offerings to take away sin, and to make them holy to be priests, they may have for food: but no one who is not a priest may have them, for they are holy food.
34 And if it will be left over some of [the] meat of installation offering and some of the bread until the morning and you will burn what is left over with fire not it will be eaten for [is] a holy thing it.
And if any of the flesh of the offering or of the bread is over till the morning, let it be burned with fire; it is not to be used for food, for it is holy.
35 And you will do to Aaron and to sons his thus according to all that I have commanded you seven days you will fill hand their.
All these things you are to do to Aaron and his sons as I have given you orders: for seven days the work of making them priests is to go on.

And they will see that I am the Lord their God, who took them out of the land of Egypt, so that I might be ever with them: I am the Lord their God.
